 dresses.
 The Howard avenue chapel of the Calvary Baptist church was dedicated yesterday after noon with appropriate exercises. Had it not been for the unpleasant weather the chapel could not have held all the friends of the Baptist mission to be established The seat ing capacity was tried to the uttermest, there being upward of six hundred people present.
 The pulpit was decorated with hot-house flowers. The boy choir of thirty voices of Calvary Baptist church Sunday school lead the congregation in the singing. Miss Calf ney sang solo in her usual co mplete man. ner. Rev. T. s. Samson made the opening address and stated the reasons for establish ing Baptist mission in that community. He said that they came in no spirit of sec- tariaaism, although the chapel would be under the direction of and in sympathy with the Baptists. Rev. N J. Mutch, of the How ard Avenue Congregational church, as a representative of the community in that sec ton of the city welcomed the members of the Calvary Baptist church to their new field of labor. He assured them of the sympathy and support of the Christian people of the vicinity.
 Rev E. NJ. Jerome made an address on the necessity of thorough mission work and re- minded the workers of the responsibility they were about to assume.
 Rev w H. Butrick of the Wooster Place Baptist church in the course of his remarks said that the chapel was established for two reasons. The first was for the sake of self preservation and for the convenience of the large number of Baptist families living in that part of the city. The second reason was to elevate the morals of the community.
 Rev. NIT. Samson made the prayer of dedi- cation, and Rev. MT. Mutch closed with the benediction.
 A Sunday school will be organized in the chapel next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. It is expected that this will be the regular hour of meeting. MT. J. B. Underwood has been elected superintendent. The large experience of MT. Underwood in Sunday school work will be of great service to the school. It is proposed to establish school which will be graded something after the manner of our day schools.
 Arrangements will be made for preaching services every Sunday evening
 On Thursday evening 8 festival will be held in the new chapel. There will be music and recitations. The community are cor dially invited.
 The interior of the chapel is finished in Carolina pine with cedar trimmings. On the whole it reflects great credit on the commit tee, consisting of the pastor, Rev. Thomas s. Samson, H. Webster Stowe, Theodore F. Booth, Jared B. Foote, s. c. Johnson and J. B. Underwood.

A Great Victory : A Terrible Case of ScrofuIa
 Cured by
 Holds Sarsaparilla

Tn the winter of 1879 was attacked with Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms At one time I had no less than thirteen large abscesses over and around my neck and throat, continually exuding an offensive mass of bloody matter disgusting to behold, and almost intolerable to endure. It is impossible to fully describe my sufferings, as the case was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After three years of misery, having been treated by three physicians, I was worse than ever. Finally, on the recommendation of W. J. Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, I was induced to try Hoods Sarsaparil1a. And now, after having taken twelve bottles, within the last twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have entirely ceased, and the abSceSSeS have all disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and have done for others, but ] do know that in my case, Hoods SarSaparilla has proved an effective specific indeed. As an evidence of my gratitude send these facts unsolicited, and am ready to verify the authenticity of this cure, by personal correspondence with ERTs, East Wilson, N. Y.
 This statement is confirmed by W. J. Hunt ley, druggist, of Lockport, N. Y., who calls the cure c great viotory for Hoods Sarsaparilla. Send for. book giving statements ofmany cures.

An Old Citizen Pleads for More Unity
 and Public Spirit-He Appeals Strong
 1y for a Direct Railroad Connection
 With the Northwest Section of the
 State.
 An old citizen writes: Why talk of adding another city building on the corner of Church and Court streets, where Downes' restaurant is, when the city can get plenty of unoccu- pied room in the old State House? The leg islature used to meet there, the old county courts were held there and the Historical so- ciety has fine rooms there. Don't talk of building another $100, 1000 building when the city has vacant rooms at it's disposal. But one thing the city can do and do we'll That is, sell its interest in the Derby to the Hous- atomic Valley railroad company. I was dumbfounded at reading the reports in the papers of the discriminations against New Haven in the railroad freight charges. was not aware that our merchants labored under such disadvantages Of course our mer- chants, being so handicapped, did not court publicity in the matter to have their compet- itors take advantage of it, but now that the matter is public let me say all honor to our New Haven merchants for having succeeded we'll with such odds against them and With pig section Of territory rom Wnlcn they were shut out for the want of just such 8 railroad connection as is now offered. I was amazed at reading what MT. Frank c. Bushnell testified to as to the freight charges being so against New Haven. Let me add l am for all proper and wise economy, but for heavens sake don't let us bite off our own noses, if such feat were possible, but let us with one voice and as a unit gladly avail ourselves of this opportunity to advance New Haven's interest. It is, indeed, true that New Haven lacks that unity of heart and that public spirited enterprise that Bridge port, Hartford and Waterbury display whenever good chance comes to benefit those cities. We are deficient in this respect of union, cooperation and public spirit New Haven grows, to be sure, but it's because she can't help it. We have the big Sound at our door. good harbor, the big ocean is easily within reach, and being there on the sea board, we grow because we can't help it. We ought now to be city of 200, 900 people, however, and would have been if everybody had pulled together. But if a manufacturing concern wants to come here and locate and wants to buy piece of land the price is immediately put up te such an e1orbitant price as to drive the enterprise away to other cities. This is avarice and not enterprise nor public spirit. All my friends and acquaintanoes, most of whom are small taxpayers like myself, say that New Haven ought to have this western trade from which it is now shut off.

THE LEGISLATURE.
What Was Done by the Legis-
lative Solons Yesterday.
A Great Deal of Talking by
the members of the House.
The Bill for the Incorporation
of Grange Stores Passed.

There was no measure of great import
ance up before either body yesterday, and
in fact, the senate, since SO many of its
members have been excused for sickness
or other cause, finds it very hard to keep
quorum on hand. The sergeant-a
is very often compelled to start off in
quest of the absent members in order to
bring the number of members up to
the necessary twenty-one to transact bus
mess. There are always plenty of mem
bers in the house to talk, whether the
measure discussed ia of much importance
or not. In fact, whenever il is unimport-
ant is the only time when some of the
members can get chance to put in their
oar. The discussion on the enclosure
bill was rather interesting, and served to
awaken some lof the members, as also
little spat on tho grange store incorpora-
tions, but these aside the dull mo-
notony of routine and other uninteresting
matters made many of the members
drowsy, especially as it was so warm.
Probably the weather had great deal to
do with keeping heat out of lebates.

WHAT TRUE MERIT WILL DO.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup within a few days, has
astOnlshed the world. 1t is without doubt
the safest and best remedy ever discov-
erec for the speedy and effectual cure of
coughs, colds and the severest lung
troubles. 1t acts on an entirely different
principle from the usual prescriptions
given by physicians, as it does not dry up
a cough and leave the disease still in the
system, but on the contrary, removes the
cause OF the trouble, heals the parts af-
tected and leaves them in a purely healthy
condition. A bottle kept in the house for
use when the diseases make their appear
ance, will save Doctors bills and a lone
spell of serious illness. A trial will con,
vince you of these facts. 1t is positively
sold by all druggists and general dealers

In New York City the novels perched
upon the rocks in the vicinity of Harlem
are very near some fine brownstone hous-
es. The pastor of one of our chucrhes,
occupying high house on the outskirts
of a wilderness of rocks and shanties,
where the goats are numerous, wrote his
farewell sermon and left it on his study
table. Unfortunately the window was up.
On his return he could not find the SER
mon; he rushed down fairs, went out and
found a goat nibbling at the last leaf,
having eaten all the rest. AS it was Sat.
urday the minister was compelled to de-
liver his sermon practically extemporane-
ously, and the only consolation he receiv-
ed from friend to whom he narrated the
circumstance was the suggestion that the
goat might be expected to give 'the sin
cere milk of the world-Christian Advo-
cate.

A Tribute to Worth
.ditOr of the Statesman.

To the Editor of the Statesman.
Yesterday morning one of the largest,
most generous and noblest hearts, of
Texas, ceased to beat. The wires, har-
bingers of deeds, good and bad, did their
accustomed duty, and it was whispered in
Austin that Hon. W. F. Upton had passed
away. The news was overwhelming; to
realize it at once was matter of impOs-
sibility. We had seen him in health and
strength, in all the vigor of his magniti-
cent manhood but a few days ago. Those
who knew him best, loved him best. In
the affections of the members of the 10Th,
10th, 18th, 18th and 10Th legislatures he
held the highest place, and in this city he
was loved, honored and respected to a
degree seldom attained by one, so
actively engaged in affairs of legislation
and in politics. An epitome of his life
and services is superhuous; upon every
page of the state statutes the impress of
his integrity, sterling worth and
ability rests as monument to
the life so well expended and so suddenly
terminated Men loved Bill Upton with a
sentiment rare indeed in this mercenary
and political age.
Inc loss to his friends Is irreparable;
the state has suffered calamity, and the
community, which repeatedly honored
themselves in honoring him, has been de-
prived of its most useful and worthy citi-
zen.
There will be inscribed upon the stone
which marks his resting place "here
lies an honest man" To the sorrowing
wife and family the whole sympathy
of the whole people is extended.
A soldier, a statesman, a friend and a
gentleman has gone. We bid him bon
voyage, with the consolation that when
the score is finally Tailed, and the secrets
Of all hearts exposed, his tally sheet will |
be of the worthiest and his breast the |
,leanest.
He has Joined the grand army who, re-
narshalled under Jackson and Lee and |
Johnson, recline under the shade of the
'rees DER the river, repose upon rose
powers and wander by crystal streamlets
Is melod1ous as silver Tyres, and where no
,ose bower will be more prolific of per-
tunes than was his life with generous
lets, charitable thoughts and good deeds.

President Jackson in 1888 laid the
cornerstone of a monument to Mary
Washington, mother of George, at Fred
erlcksburg, Va. Work was continued
thereon for four years, but finally ceased.
and has never been resumed. A bill an
propriating $4,000 for the structure has
been offered in Congress, and it will prob
ably be completed about the time New
York lays the cornerstone of the Grant
monument. George Washington is a
good enough monument for Mary. She
raised the man for whom the Washington
monument was raised. Stone cutters and
piles OF granite can add nothing to her
glory.
